Ray Allen may not have played an NBA game since 2014, but his retirement didn't become official until today. Following a few years of contemplating a comeback, Sugar Ray is calling it quits after 18 seasons with claim to two NBA Championships and the most three-pointers ever hit.  

Allen played for four NBA teams—the Milwaukee Bucks, Seattle Supersonics, Boston Celtics, and Miami Heat, but he'll also be remembered for another team. Allen was as a founding member of Team Jordan. Along with each uniform change, he received the best Jordan Brand had to offer, from retros to the newest flagship sneakers. Among collectors, these PEs have become some of the most sought-after of all Air Jordans. 

You'll see some familiar pairs on this list, along with some that might leave you scratching your head—like the Jordan TGIM, for example. While it might not be as popular as the retros, its historical significance as Allen's first championship shoe made it one that couldn't be overlooked. Others may not have had a particularly memorable on-court moment associated with them, but were notable simply based on rarity or aesthetic. In celebration of his retirement announcement, here are Ray Allen's 40 best Air Jordan player exclusives.

Tony Finau wants to change the game of golf, from how it looks to who plays it. In this episode, the PGA Tour pro talks about his deal with Nike, golfing with Michael Jordan, and how that infamous ankle roll changed his approach to sneakers. Finau even teases some early heat in the form of the “Reverse Grinch” Nike Kobe 6. Elsewhere in the episode, cohosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss some 2024 sneaker leaks including a Stash x Nike Air Max 95, a Corteiz x Nike Air Trainer Huarache, and the possible return of a classic Patta x Nike Air Max 1. This episode was recorded at ComplexCon a few weeks back, meaning some of the conversation is a little dated, but the show will be back on schedule next week.Tony Finau wants to change the game of golf, from how it looks to who plays it.
